Prevention and control principle
(1) conservative treatment is the main treatment, and comprehensive treatment combining symptomatic treatment with eliminating or weakening pathogenic factors is adopted.
(2) While treating local joint symptoms, we should improve the patients' general condition and mental state.
(3) Educate patients about medical knowledge, so that patients can understand the nature and pathogenic factors of diseases, enhance their confidence, cooperate with doctors for treatment, and carry out joint self-treatment and self-protection under the guidance of doctors.
(4) Step by step, determine a reasonable treatment plan.
At present, the treatment methods adopted are:
(1) Take medicine;
(2) Physiotherapy: local infrared radiation and He-Ne laser radiation can be selected, 20 minutes each time, 1 time per day, and continuous radiation 1 week 1 course of treatment;
(3) methods such as occlusal adjustment, occlusal padding and orthodontics can also be used;
(4) If there are obvious surgical indications, surgical treatment can also be adopted.

A representative figure in the field of temporomandibular joint in China —— Dr. Fang, Dean of Dalun Stomatological College.
Dean Fang studied at Moscow State University of Stomatology for nine years, studied under the world-famous stomatologist Professor Vasily mikhailovich, obtained a double master's degree, and obtained international medical qualification. He was awarded the title of practicing dentist by the National Examination Committee of Russian Federation, and worked in the European Dental Center for many years. Dean Fang has published many cutting-edge international orthodontics concepts in some famous academic forums and academic exchanges in Europe, which have been recognized by many international orthodontists.
Orthodontics and temporomandibular disorders are the main research directions of Professor Fang. In the investigation, Dean Fang found that the treatment of temporomandibular disorders in China is composed of surgery, and the surgical treatment is not only unacceptable to patients, but more importantly, the treatment cost is quite high, which is hundreds of thousands at a time. Under such national conditions, President Fang formulated a conservative treatment plan for temporomandibular joint, that is, to return the dislocated joint to its normal position through orthodontics. With many years of working experience and rich knowledge, Dean Fang has solved many problems for many patients under the condition of combining temporomandibular disorders with orthodontic treatment. Of course, not all temporomandibular disorders can be treated conservatively. The expert team led by Dean Fang will make the best treatment plan through a series of examinations and combined with the patient's personal situation.
